The media and the VCs are treating Sam like some hero and savior of AI. I’m not getting it. What has he done in life and/or AI to deserve so much respect and admiration? Why don’t top researchers and scientists get equivalent (if not more) respect, admiration and support? It looks like one should strive to become product manager, not an engineer or a scientist.

Sam Altman has done in four days what it took Steve Jobs 11 years to do! I'm impressed.

>>nbanks+fi
I'm sorry, impressed by what?

>>eclect+li
Steve Jobs got fired from Apple, but was rehired 11 years later.

That might be selection bias, in those 11 years Jobs built NeXT.

A lot of Apple's engineering and product line back then owe their provenance and lineage to NeXT.
